Primary Limits
Xash3D raises GoldSource’s primary limits so that they are less restrictive, and makes them more customizable. See gameinfo.txt for an example:
| Limit | Xash3D | GoldSource |
|---|---|---|
| MAX_EDICTS | 600–4096 | 900 |
| MAX_TEMPENTS | 300–2048 | 500 |
| MAX_PARTICLES | 1024–8192 | 4096 |
| MAX_BEAMS | 64–512 | 64 |
Manually setting lower limits helps you save memory in those mods where, for example, you don’t need many edicts. In addition, the MAX_EDICTS parameter comes from the server if the game is local, and the client is automatically adjusted to the new environment.
